Michelle Obama "humbled" by Smithsonian

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is "humbled" by the fact that the gown she wore to the US president's inauguration is in the Smithsonian museum.

According to People, the first lady also praised the dress's designer Jason Wu.

"It is simple, it's elegant, and it comes from this brilliant young mind, someone who is living the American dream," she said.

The shoulder ivory gown with slight floral detailing was donated to be part of the 'First Lady's At The Smithsonian' exhibit.

"I have to say, to be honest, I am very honored and very humbled, but I have to say that I'm also a little embarrassed by all the fuss being made over my dress. Like many of you, I'm not used to people wanting to put things I've worn on display. So, all of this is a little odd, so forgive me," Obama added.
